The GOP’s epic losing streak

If Republicans step back and look beyond the legal and social-media spectacle of Donald J. Trump, they’ll see screaming political sirens everywhere they gaze.
Why it matters: The GOP’s political trouble has been unfolding slowly but unmistakably, starting even before Trump’s loss to Joe Biden in 2020.
Reality check: Trump, if anything, is stronger and more likely to win the GOP nomination than he was after the November midterms.
By the numbers: For all his growing popularity among Republicans, Trump remains wildly unpopular nationally.
The bottom line: Put polls aside. How likely does it seem that Trump will do better with persuadable voters than his 2020 loss when you toss Jan. 6, a 34-count Manhattan indictment and possible federal indictments into the mix?
